Yesterday, Police Service Dog Cirk worked one of his hardest shifts yet, searching for a fleeing suspect for more than three hours. Today, he gets rewarded with some bubbles for the fourth week of Dog Days of Summer.
PSD Cirk is one of a handful of Yankees in the Canine Unit, having come to York Region from Summitville, N.Y. He joined the service in May 2014, just days before his first birthday.
While PSD Cirk is trained in handler protection, tracking, building and area searches, article searches, suspect apprehension and obedience, he is one of the unit’s most social dogs, showing off a calm, cool demeanour when not at work. Next week we’ll meet an extremely enthusiastic Canine Unit hopeful, PSD Rico.
